Boko Haram, with the help of ISIS, has made a dangerous comeback. Just yesterday, Boko Haram attacked again, using a suicide bomber to kill 20 more people. In his inauguration speech last Friday, President Buhari vowed to defeat Boko Haram. I hope and pray that President Buhari remains committed to this vow because we here in Congress will certainly remain committed to holding him accountable. Mr. Speaker, we will continue to wear red in solidarity with the thousands affected by the evils of Boko Haram. We will continue to tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls. Listen to these headlines: ``Kidnapped Nigerian Girls Likely Being Used by Boko Haram as Suicide Bombers''; ``U.S. Signals Willingness to Widen the Role in Fighting Boko Haram in Nigeria''; ``Boko Haram and ISIS Are the Worst Sexual Abusers''; ``How Boko Haram Is Turning Children into Weapons''; ``With Help from ISIS, a More Deadly Boko Haram Makes a Comeback''; ``Nigerian Girls Kidnapped by Boko Haram May Be Held in Underground Bunkers''; ``Boko Haram Militants Raped Hundreds of Female Captives in Nigeria.'' Continue to tweet. Tweet #bringbackourgirls. ____________________
